答案解析：

这是一个感人的故事：曾经有一名男子，他非常聪明、富有创造力而且有教养，但不幸的是，在一次事故中，他失去了双腿和左臂。他的人生将何去何从？是悲观失望，还是坚强面对？最后他选择了给犯人写信，以此给他们希望和鼓励。

小题1:C 从上下文可知，他通过环球旅行，获得了很多经验 (experience)，同时从第三段中的提示也可知答案。wealth表示“财富”，faith表示“信念”，confidence表示“自信”，都与语境不符。

小题2:A 从上文可知，他失去了双腿和左臂，只剩下右手的拇指和另一个手指，所以他的情绪非常低落 (depressed)。embarrassed表示“尴尬的”，ashamed表示“惭愧的”，thrilled表示“激动的”，都不符合语境。

小题3:B 他很担心他的人生一直都会承受这种痛苦 (suffering)。

小题4:D 从上文提示可知，他担心自己再也不能过有意义的生活了。abnormal表示“不正常的”；regular表示“有规律的”；comfortable表示“使人舒服的”；meaningful表示“有意义的”。根据语境选D项。

小题5:C 从下文可知，他记得自己曾经非常喜欢收到信件 (letters)，所以他决定给需要鼓励的人写信。

小题6:D 根据上下文可知，他意识到他的右手还有部分的功能 (function)，还能够费劲地 (with difficulty)写点什么。其他选项都不符合语境。

小题7:C考查词组：with difficulty“困难地”

小题8:D 上文提到他决定给需要鼓励的人写信，这里指他想 (wonder)到哪里找这些需要鼓励的人。estimate表示“估计”，doubt表示“怀疑”，assume表示“假设”，都与语境不符。

小题9:C 从下文提示可知，答案选prisons(监狱)。

小题10:C 根据常识判断，对于监狱中的犯人来说，他们希望获得freedom(自由)。

小题11:B 为了他的计划，他觉得他必须得让犯人们收到他的信件，所以用reach(联系，到达)。Release表示“释放”，defend表示“辩护，保卫”，know表示“知道”，都与语境不

小题12:A 根据上下文可知，监狱官回信说写信给犯人是可以的、可接受的 (acceptable)，但让犯人回信是违反监狱的规定的。reasonable表示“合理的”，prohibited表示“被禁止的”，considered表示“经过仔细考虑的”，均与语境不符。

小题13:B 有了这样的打算后，他开始给犯人写信，filled with表示“有了，充满”，根据语境选B项。

小题14:C 从上文可知，只能男子给犯人写信，犯人无法回信，所以说是one-way(单程的)。

小题15:D 固定词组to the limit表示“到……的极限”。

小题16:A 他全身心地投入到写信当中，与犯人分享 (share)自己的人生经验

小题17:B 对他来说，写这些信是很困难的，特别是在没有任何回信 (reply)的情况下。

小题18:D 他经常会感到很失落，有时候会想，实际上 (actually)是否有人会读他的信。curiously表示“好奇地”，patiently表示“耐心地”，carefully表示“仔细地”，都与语境不符。

小题19:A 但对他来说，这是他唯一的 (only)希望，所以他决定继续写下去。

小题20:B 实际上，他的信很受犯人的欢迎，他的信件在牢房之间被传递，由于纸张薄，以至于到最后信都快成碎片了 (fall to pieces)。

点评：本文讲述了一个失去双腿和左臂的人，他给犯人写信，以此给他们希望和鼓励。从本篇完型我们可以看出完形的考查趋势。突出考察学生词汇与结构，词汇与结构这部分既是整个考试的基础，也是本题考察的重点部分，在以后的复习中，要特别重视词汇与语法的复习，重视自己基础的夯实与提高，只有这样，才能以不变应万变，在高考中中立于不败之地。另外在答题注意上下文理解，同时结合逻辑推理进行答题，题目就能迎刃而解了。
